Hello Ahmet,

First you have to sign up to become a translator. Please visit 
http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/translations/ and click at the "sign 
up page" link.

On the sign up page, fill in the blank spaces with information and 
submit. Project maintainer will contact you regarding your registration. 
If everything is OK, your username and SSH key will be added to the 
translation CVS server.

After that, you can checkout the module that you need to start 
translating. The module is named "translate". The command that you must 
perform before checking out is as below:

# export CVS_RSH=ssh
# export CVSROOT=:ext:<username>@elvis.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS

then you can checkout by issuing command:

# cvs checkout translate

depending on the speed of your Internet connection, you may have to wait 
for a few minutes until it finish checking out all the files

After finish checking out the files, you can start translating the pot 
files into Bosnian language using your favourite tools.

I hope you know how to add, commit and update to the CVS. If not, feel 
free to ask here, and we will point you to the appropriate direction.

Happy translating! :)

p/s: To maintainers, can some of the information in this email like the 
name of the translation module and CVSROOT setting be put on the 
Translation Project page, so that other people can access it easily. 
Hopefully it will make the project more "translator friendly" :)
